Australian School Requirements for International Students

Additional Requirements Needed to Study in Australia School

Below are some important requirements that you must fulfill before you can study in Australia. In addition to the supporting documents (you provide) and letters we will provide for you, you will be directed by our consultants with education ONE.

Proof of Financial Capability

We will assess your financial capabilities before continuing. Why? The financial factor is the main requirement that most prospective students can use to determine whether or not they can study in Australia.

In accordance with immigration rules and regulations Australia↵, prospective students and guardians, must have sufficient funds to live and study while in Australia for at least 1 year. There are two types of financial declarations that you might choose from.

Bank Statement

The Department of Immigration and Border Protection authorities will check if the account provided links to you or your eligible sponsors, you will need to show the below calculations:

  • Tuition Fees: From between AUD $7,000 to $21,000 a year
    Living Costs: AUD $19,830 a year
  • Travel Costs: From between AUD $1,500 to $2,000 a person for the fight to return to your home country

Thus, the parties will be required to provide a declaration of funds on the bank statement for about AUD $28,330 to $42,830, depending on your personal situation.

Sponsor Income

If you could not provide a bank statement with the necessary amount, there are other options to show proof of your financial ability to stay in Australia for study. This could be done by declaring you or your eligible sponsor’s annual income.
